Since we at ECO VITA believe a company should focus on more than pursing our own interests, ECO VITA and Moringa Super Herb, have developed the Moringa Project. This project is based on the idea that interdependency creates a synergetic relationship that benefits everyone. We have thus created and implanted an aggressive strategy to create sustainable communities in Africa, South America and South East Asia where Moringa is grown.

We work with a number of NGOs across the globe to help develop communities that are self-sufficient and self-functioning. By doing so, we can receive products from a reliable source and enhance our business while the communities that produce Moringa are beginning to experience autonomy.

Instead of making charitable contribution towards human development projects, ECO VITA rather establishes a real business relationship with Moringa farmers. We have developed a social venture designed to benefit the local communities for the long-term. To meet the criteria, we started from making sure that the product produced by farmers would meet a high standard that would be tradable and met international trading criteria.

We advised and gave funds to local NGOs to go through sterilization treatment prior to the product to be exported to the U.S., which was unprecedented in Ghana due to having had inadequate financial stability. ECO VITA believes in the importance of adding value to their product in order to benefit the local suppliers.

This project was initiated by Association for the Sustainable Development in South America after learning that this Moringa Trees, which consists of abundant nutrients such as vitamins, had been called as the "Tree of Life" or "Tree of Miracles" which could protect people from hunger and mulnutrition. Presently, the Moringa tree has grown average of 2 cm in every day. In June 2008, the trees started having its flower bloomed and seeding coming out.
